The Farmers

"WE" the team. Otter Cove Farms is the life work of two childhood friends from mid-coast Maine. Our summer trips to Otter Cove in Acadia National Park were the genesis to our farm and the values that guide our operation.Maine. Environment. Community. Health. Sustainability. And of course those nostalgic childhood memories.
